SCOTLAND!!!
First: Heia, Norge! Norway won the 3-4 match vs. China this afternoon in fine form; the Chinese team lost their mojo and the Norwegians never really lost theirs -- particularly the second, who was groovin' out to the music they were playing between ends. Note: they are all quite a lot shorter than (a) they look and (b) I remember.
And then: Scotland 7 6 Canada in the 1-2 page playoff!!! Down 6-2 and battled back to win with a deuce and three steals! Go on, boys!
(I may have had two or three frozen margaritas during the game and thus be a little buzzy in addition to flying high. For the record, in the first- or second-end break during the 3-4 match, the PA was playing "Friday I'm In Love" by The Cure, because at this event playing on Friday is the equivalent of playing on Sunday at a bonspiel; and after the 1-2 match, it was playing "Walking on Sunshine", which I am, and the Scots and their families are even more.

Yay Scotland, though. I'm totally cheering for them in the finals. They play the winner of the Norway-Canada match? So they could meet up with Canada for the third time? I don't really care which one Scotland beats, as long as they win.

Not a thing. They have been very gentlemanly all week, two v. classy examples of which are Martin congratulating Kapp of Germany on an excellent high-pressure draw for one (when Martin was looking at stealing four), and their fifth man shaking everyone's hands when he came in late in one game I can't remember when. Good guys. Just, they're not my boys Team Scotland, and they're not my secondary boys (and
